Chinesische Sprachkultur     "新北京" 杂志   ____________________ back | home   "Comrade Language" was a very original column, written by the American founder and chief editor of "Beijing Scene", Scott Savitt. He got kicked out of China in spring 2000 after running his magazine for nearly five years. The success story about his life as a journalist in China is worth reading [more...]. The circumstances about his forced trip home are rather dubious [more...]. I got the precious column files from their original abandoned web magazine location [www.beijingscene.com] and added Chinese characters and Pinyin with tones where necessary. I hope, everybody enjoys reading and learning, thus justifying my efforts.   All files are in pdf-format for which you need the Acrobat Reader [get it here].   There are definitely errors in this abundance of text, so please feel free to mail them to me [mail me].   1999   V5, I 1, 03/12– 25 The Exclusive Interview V5, I 2, 03/26 - 04/1 Fashion with Chinese Characteristics V5, I 3, 04/2 – 8 Real Estate V5, I 4, 04/9 – 15 Henpecked Husbands V5, I 6, 04/23 – 29 Spoiled Rotten in the PRC V5, I 8, 05/7 – 13 Traditional Holidays V5, I 11, 06/4 – 10 Using your electric brain V5, I 12, 06/11 – 17 Pekinese in Beijing V5, I 13, 06/18 - 24 Wining and Dining Out V5, I 14, 06/25 - 07/1 The Comrade′s Final Exam V5, I 18, 07/23 – 29 Money is Everything V5, I 19, 07/30 - 08/ 5 Lose Weight V5, I 20, 08/6 – 12 Judging a Book by its cover V5, I 21, 08/13 – 19 Blood Type V5, I 22, 08/20 – 26 Everyday Items in Chinese ...
